Spatial patterns of Cultural and Creative Industries: Creativity and filière behind concentration
Abstract Spatial concentration of Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) is not a new topic in academic research. However, the analysis of this phenomenon often neglects that CCIs behave differently, due to their heterogeneity. Building on the literature on CCIs' concentration, a novel classification of CCIs is presented based on two key dimensions ...

Abstract Chile's isolation and varied climates have driven the evolution of a unique biodiversity with a high degree of endemism. As a result, Chile encompasses diverse environments, including the Mediterranean‐type ecosystem, a global biodiversity hotspot.

Soils, scale, or elites? Biological innovation in Uruguayan cattle farming, 1880–1913
Abstract This article examines the economics of innovation in livestock rearing during the first globalisation in Uruguay, the country with the most cattle per person in the world, both then and now. Using a new historical dataset of Uruguayan agriculture, the first one at a sub‐provincial level, I exploit regional differences in the adoption of cattle

Abstract There is increasing interestin broad‐scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic change, particularly for conservation purposes. We devised a method to reliably predict the impact of climate change on large assemblages of plant communities ...

Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species (RLS) is the key global tool for objective, repeatable assessment of species’ extinction risk status, and plays an essential role in tracking biodiversity loss and guiding conservation action.

Abstract The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List categories and criteria are the most widely used framework for assessing the relative extinction risk of species. The criteria are based on quantitative thresholds relating to the size, trends, and structure of species’ distributions and populations.

Key role for nuclear energy in global biodiversity conservation
Abstract Modern society uses massive amounts of energy. Usage rises as population and affluence increase, and energy production and use often have an impact on biodiversity or natural areas. To avoid a business‐as‐usual dependence on coal, oil, and gas over the coming decades, society must map out a future energy mix that incorporates alternative ...

Using accelerometer‐based behavioural classification to enhance scavenger conservation
We provide a tool to help identify vulture feeding hotspots, supporting carcass management efforts to prevent poisoning. Integrated with near real‐time tracking, our model can support global efforts to combat scavenger poisoning. The training dataset, model and codes are provided in a user‐friendly platform, along with a conceptual framework, to ...

Evaluating models of expert judgment to inform assessment of ecosystem viability and collapse
Abstract Expert judgment underpins assessment of threatened ecosystems. However, experts are often narrowly defined, and variability in their judgments may be substantial. Models built from structured elicitation with large diverse expert panels can contribute to more consistent and transparent decision‐making.

ABSTRACT Objective Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to ultrasound imaging in gynecology, efforts to synthesize the available evidence have been inadequate. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate the literature on the role of AI applied to ultrasound imaging in benign gynecological disorders ...
